As a child, I wanted only two things - to be left alone to read my library books, and to get away from my provincial hometown and go to London to be a writer. And I always knew that when I got there, I wanted to make loads of money.

The ceaseless labour of your life is to build the house of death.

Michel de Montaigne

Anything and everything, physical or otherwise, is defined by its absence.

Eric Parslow

I wish I had less fear about creating my own parts.

Kristen Wiig

No one is ever going to give you something that they're too afraid to even claim for themselves. People don't know themselves, so they don't like to see other people figure it out and live their lives in ways that they themselves cannot. So they try to box you in, and limit you, so they don't feel inadequate. But you don't need their approval- the only person who ever, ever limits you is yourself.

Danielle Jordan

I am not a smart man, particularly, but one day, at long last, I stumbled from the dark woods of my own, and my family's, and my country's past, holding in my hands these truths: that love grows from the rich loam of forgiveness; that mongrels make good dogs; that the evidence of God exists in the roundness of things. This much, at least, I've figured out. I know this much is true.

Wally Lamb

Some girls get swept up in the lifestyle-- clubbing and partying with celebrities. You can't live your life like that, though. It's fake.

Gemma Ward

I want for myself what I want for other women, absolute equality.

Agnes Macphail

So long as men worship the Caesars and Napoleons, Caesars and Napoleons will duly arise and make them miserable.

Aldous Huxley

We do not want the men of another color for our brothers-in-law, but we do want them for our brothers.

Booker T. Washington

Facing the difficulties, I can choose either to be a poor victim or a great adventurer.

Paulo Coelho

A member must say that he is a member of the Unification Church and that he is the follower of Sun Myung Moon. If he doesn't have the courage to say it, he is not worthy of me.

Sun Myung Moon

There is no darkness, but ignorance.

William Shakespeare
